Description

In this unit we develop skills in using a pair of compasses and ruler to construct various accurate shapes and angles including triangles, rhombi, perpendicular lines and angle bisectors.

After studying polygons and circles in depth in previous units, this year culminates in learning to mathematically construct these shapes using knowledge of the properties of triangles, quadrilaterals and circles in order to draw them accurately.

  1. Checking compass skills
  2. Securing the skill of using a pair of compasses
  3. Understanding constructing a circle
  4. Constructing triangles
  5. Constructing rhombi
  6. Diagonals of a rhombus
  7. Bisecting an angle
  8. Perpendicular bisector of a line segment
  9. Perpendicular to a given line through a given point
  10. Problem solving with constructions
